This is awesome, I can finally play Top Player without banging my head through the wall in grief.
In BAL particulary this is welcome, I am no longer able to control a match by assists and goals at will, and it feels more like an accomplishment to achieve results. The AI cheating is not completely gone though, but it's so much less noticeable that the ones I notice I simply laugh away and explain them as rare oddities.
14 BAL games played since installing the second version of this patch.
6 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses as Napoli in Serie A, inlcuding losses against Inter, Milan, Fiorentina and Lazio. Most games against evenly matched teams are actually even if you count chances, although effectiveness makes scorelines sometimes tell a different story, like in real life.
Because I can play at Top Player now, I am no longer my teams main assist leader, or main goal scorer which is good considered this is first season. I was previously unable to play at Top Player because of the poorly hidden AI scripting, making the game unplayable in my opinion.
I am very happy, and I look forward to see if this guy can remove the defender catch-up completely, though it seems a lot better. (might be imagination)
